Text File Merger

Tool Guide

About the Online Text File Merger

The online text file merger lets you merge multiple TXT text files into a single file. Just set the file separator and then select or drag files into the tool.

The default separator between files is a carriage return / line feed. You can use \n for a line break, \t for a tab, and so on. After uploading files, if you need to change the separator, simply modify it and download directly. Changes take effect in real time.

If the merge order matters, add the files one by one in sequence. Dragging them in all at once may make the order uncontrollable. Note: keep the encoding of the files you want to merge consistent and set the correct file encoding, otherwise the text may be read as garbled characters!

If you need to split a text file, use the online text file splitter.

How to Use the Text Merger

Upload TXT files: click to select files or directly drag and drop multiple TXT files to upload.

Set the file separator: a carriage return / line feed (\n) is used by default, and can be changed to a tab (\t) or any other custom character.

Adjust file order: if order matters, add files one by one in sequence. Dragging files in for upload may make the order uncontrollable, or you can re-drag them to reorder after uploading.

Choose the encoding: keep all TXT files in the same encoding. Common encodings include UTF-8, GBK, and GB2312.

Merge and download: click the "Merge Files and Download" button to get the final TXT file.

Text Merger FAQ

Which text file formats does this tool support?

It supports standard TXT format files. Word (.doc/.docx), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), and other formats are not yet supported.

How do I prevent garbled characters in the merged TXT file?

Make sure all TXT files use the same encoding. UTF-8 is recommended. If you encounter garbled text, try GBK, GB2312, or other encodings.

Can the file order be adjusted?

Yes. If order matters, add the files one by one in sequence. The order of files uploaded by dragging may vary, and you can also drag files up and down to sort them.

Which separators can I use?

A line break (\n) is used by default. You can choose a tab (\t) or a custom separator for merging.

Common Encoding Formats Explained (to Prevent Garbled Text)

If the merged TXT file shows garbled characters, try the following encodings:

UTF-8 - An 8-bit Unicode Transformation Format that is widely used, supports all Unicode characters, and is backward compatible with ASCII.

GBK - The extended Chinese national standard character set, used for Simplified Chinese characters and backward compatible with GB2312.

GB2312 - The Simplified Chinese character set, a Chinese national standard encoding for Simplified Chinese.

UTF-16 - A 16-bit Unicode Transformation Format in which each character takes 2 or 4 bytes, commonly used on Windows.

UTF-32 - A 32-bit Unicode Transformation Format in which each character takes a fixed 4 bytes; simple and direct, but less space-efficient.

GB18030 - The GB18030 character set, a Chinese national standard encoding that covers more characters, including all CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) characters, and is backward compatible with GBK and GB2312.

ISO-8859-1 - Latin-1, a single-byte encoding commonly used for Western European languages and compatible with ASCII.

ASCII - The American Standard Code for Information Interchange, an early character encoding standard containing only 128 characters, including basic English letters, digits, and control characters.

Shift JIS - A Japanese character encoding standard compatible with ASCII that supports Japanese kana and kanji.

EUC-JP - Extended Unix Code for Japanese, one of the Japanese character encoding standards, commonly used on Unix and Linux systems.

ISO-2022-JP - A Japanese character encoding standard mainly used for email and network transmission.

Big5 - A Traditional Chinese character encoding standard mainly used in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
